"Picked up a pair of the 5000s for use in road races up to 10k. Great race day flat. The is incredibly light and guaranteed to make you feel fast on race day. Fit is snug and lock the foot in place very nicely. After a few races the sole is coming away a little bit, but nothing major and certainly not unexpected from a shoe this light. Worth buying for those special days when you need to be at your fastest."
